    Top 5 Fantasy Books of 2022

    This is a list of my favorite five books that were released in 2022. I’d love to hear what your favorites were. 1. Legends & Lattes by: Travis Baldree Legends & Lattes was my favorite book from last year. It is truly an amazingly written feel good fantasy story. It is a fun read with great characters and yummy descriptions of food. This book is a one novel story. It is a relaxing enjoyable read. And, if you’re like me, you’ll hope to see all these characters again in a future novel. Plus, the fantasy elements really just fit well with the world Baldree created. Check out my written review…

    Top 5 Author’s Writing Styles

    1. Jim Butcher I have read Jim Butcher’s writing style in both first person and third person. I find he has mastered the art of storytelling in both points of view. His style has grown and matured over the course of his books. I love how his writing started as good with a fairly simple style that was clear to read and captured the character’s personality. Now, however, his writing has really blossomed into a style that has some complexity to it while still remaining clear and really captures the characters. If you like authors that have a bit of depth and flavor to their writing, I think you’ll love…

    Top 5 Paranormal Romance Series

    #1. Immortal Guardians by Dianne Duvall Vampires are bad. Immortals, who do share a lot of qualities with vampires, are good. They hunt down the evil vampires who kill and murder. Only a select few have the potential to become an immortal instead of a vampire, and this group of immortal men don’t realize just how lonely they are, until they find themselves in front of the women of their dreams. If you like lots of really great romantic men who always treats their women right, this series will give you lots of them. All of books have really tough men who are very protective and romantic (even if some…

    Top 5 Urban Fantasy Series

    #1. Dresden Files by Jim Butcher Harry Dresden is a wizard who advertises himself as such in the yellow pages of the phone book. He has a private detective agency that specializes in some mundane and some supernatural cases. Sometimes the cops even call him in to consult, even if they don’t really know if he is legit or not. He always seems to find himself in trouble while on the job, and constantly scrounging for rent money. He doesn’t do love potions, endless purses, or parties, but he will save you if you’re in trouble. I love this series for many reasons, but one of the main ones is…

    Top 5 High Fantasy Series

    #1. Codex Alera by Jim Butcher This series focuses on a boy named Tavi who is very unique in this world. He has no control over any types of furies (elementals of earth, fire, water, air, and metal). Instead, he has to overcome the problems that happen around him without any power, and as he branches out into the world, he discovers where destiny leads him and what his true potential can be. I love this series so much because of how unique it is. I, personally, haven’t read many other novels that incorporate nature manipulation as the main form of magic in the world, and I also like the…
